[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 383776, member: 40536"] You make good points. To provide some context, When the Father is an alpha male in an extremely competitive industry and he favors the youngest son while questioning the paternity of his oldest son (possibly), and the Mother favors the middle son and is warmer to the youngest son, the result is that the oldest son might not be as ethical as Jimmy Stewart's character in "It's a Wonderful Life" Ellie probably did not know all of Ewing Oil's business, but she had to know at least some things. She certainly knew that Jock and JR defeated Cliff's election hopes with some damaging info, and how angry Pam was. She knew Cliff was investigating Ewing Oil, and there had to be other times when Ewing Oil 's business practices were being examined She knew Jock's interactions with Digger Barnes, even though Digger didn't exactly help himself. She knew how JR treated Sue Ellen. A powerful man's wife ma not know everything, but she would not be totally in the dark either She overlooked that Cliff put himself at risk to save Bobby. She could have at least expressed some Thanks, and she had to know that JR tried to use the situation against Cliff [/QUOTE]
